Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time
Principal/Senior Economist Fixed term for 12 months

The Social Wellbeing Agency is getting ready to transition to the Social Investment Agency, a new stand-alone central agency, on 1 July 2024.

The new agency will be leading change across the public, and in addition to our existing functions, we will have new functions so we can support Government to achieve better outcomes from social service expenditure.

It's going to be a busy and exciting time, and we need some experienced and agile people to help us transition and establish the new agency.

The Principal/Senior Economist works with the Chief Economist to provide strategic advice and support to the Agency on the quality of economic analysis, methodology and frameworks on key social sector issues.

In particular, they will support the Agency's work to evaluate the impact of social sector spend.

They need to have a strong understanding of econometrics and/or forecasting and an interest in the use of advanced analytics to support better decision-making.

We know that no one will meet every single requirement for the role.

If your experience looks a little different and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you.

We are committed to have a safe and inclusive workplace and we value the diversity everyone brings. We are proud to have achieved the Rainbow Tick and the Domestic Violence Free Tick.

How to apply
We look forward to hearing from you.
